Shut Up & Write!™

May 1, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us for an hour of writing! Space is limited, so please reserve your seat by RSVPing on Meetup.

I’ve found that it can be amazingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7pm on Wednesday evenings (and occasionally Tuesdays) at the Wolverine Farm Letterpress and Publick House.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, poem, or just plain work stuff, you’re invited to write it with us. No one will see what you’ve written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

SCHEDULE

• 7:00pm – Quick intros as we get settled.

• 7:15pm – Timer starts and the writing hour begins.

• 8:15pm – The end of the hour is announced, but if you don’t want to socialize or head out, you can always keep writing. Wolverine Farm closes at 9pm.

Optional socializing happens from 8:15 to 8:30pm. Writing is very solitary, so connecting (and commiserating) with other writers can be a great thing.

Being late is okay—just show up and get settled, then check in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
